Work items dependencies
Where can I read more about the work items dependencies (e.g.: parent-child, depends on, etc.)?
I want to understand how each of them work to decide which one fits better to my needs, but I was unable to find the doc and nothing on the online RTC help. Thanks Claudia Callegari |

Hi Claudia
There are two link types that have additional semantics: Parent/Children: this is used by Agile Planning, e.g. all Tasks needed to implement a Story are children. The Plan will show children and parents and for the parent will aggregate the values from the children for progress computation. Duplicates/Duplicate Of: this is used by Work Items when resolving a defect as 'Resolved' 'Duplicate'. When such a link is added the state of the duplicate is changed and when a link is removed, the item is reopened. For other link types nothing is implemented as special semantic.

Hi Claudia Is there Parent Child state dependency checking? Meaning I cannot close/resolve a Parent unless all the child have been resolved? |

With RTC 1.x there was a warning issued if you had inconsistent settings. No error and nothing prevented one from making inconsistent changes. This can be done using a custom condition though - I have seen a prototype.

Can You point to where can I found parent/child dependency mechanism implementations (condition for closing parent and/or automatic closing the parent when all children are closed)?
Thanks! |

Did this question ever get answered? The new and noteworthy for 3.0 Beta 2 has this: Pre-condition that checks child states I haven't used 3.0 or investigated the feature myself. |
